Alpine is a Christian Summer Camp and Conference Center in Southern California, up in the beautiful San Bernardino Mountains, near Lake Arrowhead, CA. Alpine’s sleepaway programs for Jr. High, High School and Elementary are chock full of fun activities for kids.

The highly-intentional overnight summer program for kids makes us one of the best camps for kids in Southern California. Also, our sweet mountain retreat center offers an annual Men’s Conference, Women’s Retreats, Leadership Retreats and more!

If you’re looking for an historic place for your mountain conference center needs, then enjoy a warm drink and sit by the same fireplace that Clark Gable, Shirley Temple, Fred Astaire, Bette Davis and many more have enjoyed!

For those looking for Leadership Programs, we have a multi-faceted High Ropes Course that boasts the tallest free-standing natural element in North America!

Last, but not least, our Outdoor Education program combines the science camp curriculum you’d expect with the fun of instructional staff in frontier-themed costume! Learn how to start a fire with no matches, use a bow & arrow and tomahawks, as well as studying Animal Adaptation and Wilderness Survival.

Providing a mountaintop encounter with Jesus Christ through Christian camping

From the beginning days of Alpine, until the present day, we have been laboring for the same thing: to provide a mountain top encounter with Jesus Christ through Christian camping.

The founders of Alpine Camp and Conference Center understood that going to an ‘other’ place – a place set apart from the day-to-day is essential to gaining a more true perspective of your day-to-day life.

They also knew, from first-hand experience, that it is possible to draw nearer to Jesus in one week of intensive Christian camping than during a whole year of Sunday mornings. Yet, they still held firm to the conviction that it was the consistent Sunday morning Body-life that was most essential for a healthy deep-rootedness in Jesus.

So, they stayed partners with the local churches as they attempted to provide the former without neglecting the latter. Alpine’s current team is devoted to retain those partnerships, rekindle any that have grown cold and spark new partnerships to increase the blessing we can be to the local churches in the Pacific Southwest.

Up here, you can step into quiet and practice listening to that still, small voice, which has been speaking to you the whole time.

Up here, you can catch a glimpse of time as you walk among the old trees and see huge vistas of southern California - from the faraway mountains, to the desert and all the way out to the ocean and the islands.

Up here, you can breathe deeply, laugh freely and connect with each other and with God. If you've been here, then you have experienced this for yourself. If you have not made the journey, we invite you to taste and see for yourself this beautiful place God has set aside for you and those you minster with.

We invite you to come and experience a mountain top encounter with Jesus Christ through Christian camping, at Alpine.
